New American Idol Judges: Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson!

Late yesterday Ellen DeGeneres announced via her Twitter that she had voted herself off of American Idol.

Ellen's official statement says:

“A couple months ago, I let FOX and the American Idol producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me. I told them I wouldn’t leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next. It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for.

"I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on Idol and I am very grateful for the year I had, I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”

Ellen, boo, the day your ass announced that you would be coming to American Idol on your show, I said that you would last ONE SEASON. Just because you're a big fan of a show does not mean that you should take over as one of its main characters. How could such an intelligent person think that she's the right fit for everything just because she's funny?!? Ego is ugly. There is so much more involved in American Idol than telling jokes: The schedule is grueling and, yes, you have "to judge people" when your @ss is a judge!

Anyway, this morning we've learned that Snoopy of Charlie Brown's twin sister Kara DioGuardi has been fired, and the new judging panel will be Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. American Idol is desperate and Jennifer and Steven are also desperate. I give the show two more seasons tops.
